Pt 2 Chords:
[Verse 1]
Bm*
I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute;
Bm*
Couldn't bear another day without you in it.
Gmaj7*
All of the joy that I had known for all my life
Em* F#m* G*
Was stripped away from me the minute that you died.
Bm*
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted,
Bm*
But now without you I'm a soul forever haunted.
Gmaj7*
Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted;
Em* F#m* G*
No way in Hell that I can ever comprehend this.
BmI wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone,
BmI was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong.
Gmaj7How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
Now I'm Emtrapped inside a F#mnightmare every Gsingle f'ing Cdimday.
BmIt's like a movie, but there's not a happy ending;
BmEvery scene fades black, and there's no pretending.
Gmaj7This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well,

B|---------3-2-1-0-|-1-2-3-2-1-0-----|
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-------------3-2-|
A|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-----------------|
There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
EmI know you didn't pBmlan this;
Em Bm* Bm* Bm* Bm*
You tried to do what's right.
EmBut in the middle of this Bmmadness,
Cmaj7Cmmaj7#11 F#
I'm the one (I'm the one, I'm the one) you left to win this fight.

[Chorus]

BmRed like Gmaj7roses
Fills my Emhead with dreams and F#finds GmeA
BmAlways Gmaj7closer
To the Ememptiness and sadness
That has F#come to take the Gplace Aof Bmyou.
[Verse 2]
Bm*
I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness;
Bm*
You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness.
Gmaj7*
Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute;
Em* F#m* G*
Make you understand the reasons why I did it.
Bm*
I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered;
Bm*
Want you to know that, for eternity, I'm shattered.
Gmaj7*
I tried so hard just to protect you, but I failed to,
Em* F#m* G*
And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you.
BmI never planned that I would leave you there alone,
BmI was sure that I would see you when I made it back home.
Gmaj7And all the times I swore that it would be okay;
Now I'm Emnothing but a F#mliar, and you're Gthrown into the Cdimfray.
BmThis bedtime story ends with misery ever after,
BmThe pages are torn, and there's no final chapter.
Gmaj7I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do;
e|-3-2-1-0---------|-----------------|
B|---------3-2-1-0-|-1-2-3-2-1-0-----|
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-------------3-2-|
A|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-----------------|
I made a sacrifice, but forced a bigger sacrifice on you.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
EmI know you've lived a Bmnightmare;
Em Bm* Bm* Bm* Bm*
I caused you so much pain.
EmBut baby, please don't do what BmI did;
Cmaj7Cmmaj7#11 F#
I don't want (I don't want, I don't want) you to waste your life in vain.
